Answer 2

The percentage of fans that will be able to park in the stadium lot is 20%

Explanation:

step 1

Find the number of fans who will be able to park in the stadium.

Multiply stadium capacity by two (because they arrive two fans per car)

`7,000*2=14,000\ fans`

step 2

Find out the percentage of fans that will be able to park in the stadium lot

we know that

70,000 fans represent the 100%

using proportion

Find out the percentage that represent 14,000 fans

Let

x ----> the percentage of fans that will be able to park in the stadium lot

`(70,000)/(100)=(14,000)/(x)\\\\x=14,000*100/70,000\\\\x=20\%`
